Not sure where compiling comes in, either it's proprietary or it's in the repo the same as any other distro.

Another point for flatpak/snap style proprietary apps distribution though - they don't assume anything about the distro will be there.

I think compiling usually comes in when it's not in the repo or proprietary.
